	Yes. I am sorry to say that I ''had'' to identify myself during, that shameful exposure of the ''mediums'' Holmes with the Spiritualists. I had to save the situation, for I was sent from Paris on purpose to America to ''prove'' the phenomena and their reality and—show the fallacy of the Spiritualistic theories of “Spirits.” But how could I do it best? I did not want people at large to know that I could ''produce the same thing at will''. I had received ORDERS to the contrary, and yet, I had to keep alive the reality, the genuineness and ''possibility'' of such phenomena in the hearts of those who from ''Materialists'' had turned ''Spiritualists'' and now, owing to the exposure of several mediums fell back again, returned to their skepticism. This is why, selecting a few of the faithful, I went to the Holmeses and helped by M . . . and ''his power'', brought out the face of John King and Katie King in the astral light, produced the phenomena of materialization and—allowed the Spiritualists at large to believe it was done thro’ the mediumship of Mrs. Holmes. She was terribly frightened herself, for she knew that ''this once'' the apparition was real. Did I do wrong? The world is not prepared yet to understand the philosophy of Occult Sciences—let them assure themselves first of all that there are beings in an invisible world, whether “Spirits” of the dead or ''Elementals''; and that there are hidden powers in man, which are capable of making a ''God'' of him on earth.
